As the others have stated, there is a push button that can be attached to a handlebar or similar and oriented to operate with index finger or thumb. You might also be advised that the wire between the horn and button is too short in my opinion, maybe 12". (I don't have the Hornit anymore).

The trigger mechanism is by means of a push button that is remote via a wire to the main unit. The button attaches to the bar via an elasticated rubber loop in which it is contained and into the unit via a small jack.

You activate it pressing a small button (trigger). The button is on the tip of a wire and equipped with a small rubber band for attaching to handlebar. Is envolved on rubber and should be bigger for better pressing. However works well. The wire is connected to the horn by a small jack connection, so you can unplug it only for mounting reasons because is the only button.

Push button to trigger. It came with the remote push button but you can modify (or I can help you) to accomodate your need.

The mount rubber broke on mine, so I taped it on with electrical tape, the wire broke off so I put a radio shack normaly open switch on... Now I've smashed the unit case and its taped together with more tape. I have to change the battery... Oops, probably time to buy a new one.

More of a smash type. requiring significant pressure. I activate with pad of thumb. I experimented using a pen to activate (for the sake of this question) but this required pinpoint accuracy with significant force. Also i was able to activate with palm. This would be my last choice in triggers for what i imagine might be your requirement. Insofar as behind most electronic triggers is 2 simple wires, this could be retrofitted to a more manageable button. But again, as it is i would not recommend this particular type. Hope this helps.

You have to continually push the button, it is not automatic, I love this machine, I use it as a blender and it is the best I have ever had.

There is no trigger per se, you push and pull to operate it as you direct it across the floor. That is what causes it to activate the steam. I think you will find it quite easy to,operate. I love mine.

Play with the red widget on the back of it...it pops out eventually ...its like a push in and down motion

The hand wringer is as affective as the foot pedal. My assumption is that even being one system/device for both, it works differently. I just checked mine by watching close while spinning both ways. It was an independent spinn-off. Also the pedal is very sturdy. The pedal will never deteriorate and break if you keep that part away from water with an average use.

I have problems with my hands, and can use this easily. The smooth action is so nice. Sorry you are having trouble with yours but I am sure they will replace it. There are always a bad apple in a basket and I guess you found it

You must to pull the trigger. It is not automatic.Yes, it is bidirectional.

I also would like to know how to set the lever. It feels pretty much the same to me and I have not been able to find any documentation on the setting. I see reviews that say they set it in one mode or the other. Could one of them reply to this post?

Very.... Essentially the push of a button... The quick release skewer is junk, and I'll be bitchin' about it and demanding a replacement, but the mounting and solid axle setup is solid.... Feel free to contact me with anymore questions you might have... I'm a bike mechanic with 30 years experience, and a borderline activist, so will answer questions with everyday biking in mind.... Be safe, have fun, and support cycling!!!

The grip requires continuous squeezing or the motor shuts off. The squeezing really tires out your working hand, right one in my case! Should be made easier to use.

I also have this foot pedal and use it with Express Scribe daily. It will not work until you initialize it. You have to go to the pull down menu, Options, and pick Controller and run the controller wizard. It asks you to tap the left center and right pedals and then finish and it works as others say.

You put your fingers on the wheel and push up. It only moves in one direction. It won't go both ways.

You simply push in on the brake control to brake and push in on the throttle to accelorate. You don't have to grip either one I rarely use my full hand. Would u like me to do a video for you. Please txt me or call if you'd like. 918 721-1616. Hope this helps, sincerly Sherry

It works. You just have to squeeze the hand brake all of the way, and then push in the red button. You have to squeeze super hard.

it has been about a year so I can't remember too many details...except to say that the two pedals are not both "right-handed" screws on unicycles / bikes (so that they won't automatically loosen w/ use). Try to tighten (by hand!) the other direction. To answer the support question, probably no where available, and I'm not even sure it is "M Wave" b/c ours says "FUN" as the brand!

I agree, almost killed myself! Fell 3 times. This type pedal works really great, easy out, easy in: Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal. I highly suggest.

There's a small button on the bottom. Seems to work when you press it and blow at the same time.
